The 30 Most Popular Baby Names That Are Also Foods

A French court ruled recently that a newborn baby could not be named "Nutella," reasoning that "it is contrary to the child’s interest to be wearing a name like that can only lead to teasing or disparaging thoughts."

A thorough TIME investigation did not turn up any evidence of a Nutella being born in the United States since 1880, the earliest year for which baby name data is available from the Social Security Administration. (Pre-1880 Nutellas are unlikely; Nutella was developed in the 1940s). By comparing the most-recent set of newborn names against a list of 25,369 foods (mined from Wikipedia), we did find 30 other gourmet names that were given to American babies in 2013. Only names that show up at least five times in a given year are publicly reported.

This list does not include names like "Clementine" and "Rosemary" that are common enough not to be automatically associated with food.
